“As Seen In” Quilts & More Winter 2007 SPICE IT UP

Spice It Up by Kathleen Williams. – Pages: 90 – 91 RATED: VERY EASY and fun!!!! Finished size: 61 1/2″ x 79 3/4″

Try this quilt pattern in fabrics from Abbi May’s. It shows off big bold prints.

See below for the large prints I choose from Free Spirit collection, Cloe’s Imagination by Tina Givens. They were perfect for my quilt project!

Big blocks

 

Sashing and squares

 The big blocks are 14 1/2″ square and the sashing is 4 1/2″ wide – perfect for this fabric!  From cutting to piecing, I made this quilt top in 5 hours! It was so easy – it used 4 fabrics and one bobbin! The blocks are sewn together first in rows and then the rows are sewn together to make the top.

Kits Available here for the Spice It Up pattern includes the fabric in my quilt 
or I can kit any fabrics from my shop.

I got the quilt layered and am going to quilt it today in a very large stipple.
This is the fabric I’m using on the back:
